I'm shooting them in my SBE1 thru a Kick's .660 and getting 145+ pellets in the 10" circle @ 40 yards every time.   :OGturkeyhead:

I will have to measure the exit diameter of the choke. I picked it up used and there are no markings on it. I picked it up after having the chance to shoot one that was being passed around here a few years back.

I just ordered 2 boxes of #5s from Cabelas to see how they shoot as well. Hopefully they arrive before next weekend.

It's hard to tell looking at your pics on my phone but it doesn't seem like the 40 yard pattern is holding together as good as the longbeard are capable of.

Or maybe that's a smaller target then it looks like on my phone.

That circle inside the white circle has a 6 inch diameter and at 53 pellets counted in an area of 28.26 sq.inches it equates to 147 pellets in a 10 inch circle with an area of 78.5 sq. inches. Not shabby for 40 yards.

Hey, you got me to thinking anyway. Two #4 pellets per square inch is pretty stout stuff. :turkey2:
